various KDE based applications.

Issues I frequently see in Gnome:
 * I enable menu tear-off feature.  Very few apps adhere to that setting.
 * File Open & Save dialogs. I have seen so many apps that have different
    versions of those dialogs.
 * UI layout varies from application to application.
 ....

But for some reason, I just find it hard to switch to KDE. I used to
be a big KDE fan in the Suse 7 & 8 days, but in recent years I started
using Ubuntu and just got used to Gnome.

Use Kubuntu ? I do, now.


What widgetset do you have Lazarus IDE compiled with? Qt, GTK2, GTK1?
Recently I made the switch from GTK1 to GTK2.

So did I :-)



I know this, but in practice, what can I set it to ? $HOME is not an option,
because then my home directory is cluttered with visible
files and directories.

True... You can always set it to $HOME and implement
OnGetApplicationName which prefixes a "dot" infront of you application
name when the system runs under a unix environment.  But then, maybe
that's to much effort. :-)

What's your issue with the ~/.config/ directory?  How often you to
browse those folders anyway?  I know I hardly do.

Very often. Almost daily.


My issue with the "dot" directories in the $HOME directory. I have no
idea how to list only the "dot" directories. What I use is this...

 $> ls -lsa

ls -lad .*

does what you ask...

Michael.
